Benzoic acid,4-methoxy-2-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 4-methoxy-2-methyl-, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl 4-methoxy-2-methylbenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a benzoic acid backbone with a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a methyl group (-CH₃) positioned on the aromatic ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its chemical properties include the ability to participate in various reactions typical of esters, such as transesterification and hydrolysis. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
